Chapter 392: Became so much stronger again...!
The attack on the ant nest and the death of Youpi quietly brought about some changes.
Neferbit and Xiaoyapuf are both clearly aware of the threats posed by human beings, and at the same time they are also aware of the changes that may be faced due to the shortage of manpower.
The sense of oppression created by the intertwining of these two cognitions prompted them to invest more urgently in cultivating military forces.
Thus, the first batch of ability soldiers who truly belonged to the Ant King were born.
Using the army and residents of the capital as raw materials, after forced enlightenment, Nephibit surgically inserts the genes of other creatures into the body.
Finally, after the egg-incubation process, this group of ability user soldiers took shape.
The overall appearance is similar to that of humans, but it also retains some characteristics of other creatures.
Most of these characteristics come from beast genes, mainly manifested as sharp claws and sharp teeth that enhance attack power, and scales or carapace that enhance defense.
However, although these soldiers have acquired a physical appearance that is more suitable for fighting, the level of morale they show after reading can only reach the level of army commander at the highest.
This point makes Neferbit and Xiaoyapufu not satisfied.
But they also understand that choosing to replace "reproduction" with "transformation" has greatly improved the "proliferation" efficiency, but they also have to face the cost of a lower upper limit of individual quality.
"Nifebit, how many soldiers can you control at the same time while maintaining the "circle"?"
Owl Yapufu looked at the five hundred chimera soldiers standing still like sculptures in the atrium, and suddenly asked.
Neferbit put his finger on his chin, thought seriously for a while, and then answered:
"If you just set a simple command such as "Destroy nearby enemies", it is no problem to control 500 at one time, but if you want to complicate the command, the controllable number must be reduced by at least half."
"Is that so-"
Yapuf frowned slightly and said calmly: "We can't just rely on your control ability, these soldiers must have the awareness to fight independently."
"Of course, but the first batch of soldiers were originally rushed out as experimental subjects. After the second and third batches of more mature soldiers hatch, the only purpose of the first batch of soldiers is to become the king's food, meow."
Neferbit said it matter-of-factly, with a relaxed tone.
Fbit could vaguely feel Owlapuf's anxiety, turned his head to look at him, and asked curiously: "You seem to be particularly anxious - is it because of Yupi's death?"
Since the ant nest was attacked by humans, there has been no news from Yupi.
The king did not care about this, and Neferbit and Xiaoyapuf had already acquiesced in Yupi's death.
It was precisely this incident that raised their vigilance against humans to a new level.
In Neferbit's view, Owlapov was obviously upset about Yupi's death, which caused an overexpansion of the sense of crisis and made him appear so anxious and uneasy.
"I do have some concerns."
Owl Yapufu raised his eyes and looked at the outline of the capital Peijing in the distance, and inexplicably thought of the girl who was playing chess with the king in the palace.
A variety of complex emotions came over him, making his eyes become increasingly gloomy.
· Human beings—
· Human beings are really troublesome.
He thought silently, then looked up at the sky.
The dark clouds are rolling in layers and spreading like ink in the strong wind, making it look like a storm is about to come.
"The most important thing at the moment is to build a reliable defense force as soon as possible. We can no longer be distracted by other things."
But after several attempts, I still can't achieve calmness.
It seems that a high proportion of human genes are embedded in the body—
Xiao Yapufu has mixed feelings in his heart.
He opened his eyes, supported his chin with the back of his hand, shook his head, and let out another long sigh.
Next to him, Nephibit looked at Owl Yapfu's series of weird actions like a mime in confusion.
However, she did not delve into it and turned her attention to more practical tasks.
She controlled a squad of newly hatched chimera soldiers and headed towards Peijing City in the distance.
Since the beginning of the selection ceremony, there has been continuous interference from the human side.
Hand, she and Xiao Yapfu had to sit in the palace and were unable to take the initiative. They could only use the Dick puppet to constantly appease people's hearts through speeches.
Him After that, on the premise of blocking information as much as possible, we waited for more human materials to come to Peijing and fall into the trap.
At this time, there is already a team of human soldiers under her control in Peijing City to maintain superficial order. In the name of martial law, they forcefully require the people who come to the capital to stay behind closed doors and remain silent.
The newly dispatched chimera soldiers will now be responsible for countering any attempt by the human side to interfere with the selection.
At any rate, the opponent's "manpower" is limited.
Even if they have been secretly interfering with this selection operation, it will only cause them to lose some human materials.
As long as most of the bases are there, you can still create a sizable army of ability users.
At that time, we will steadily expand our territory outwards.
Neferbit is also extremely intelligent, and her advantage is that she is not like Yapfu, who is always sentimental and complicates things.
Peijingcheng.
The cold, wet wind came from afar, and the sky was filled with dark clouds.
The members of the expedition team were scattered in the outer areas of the city.
With Nobu's "Fourth Dimensional Apartment" ability, they can disappear out of thin air at any time, so there is no need to be overly cautious.
After all, no matter which direction you approach the palace, you will definitely be noticed by Nephibit.
What's more, since the interference operation began, they have revealed their identity, and no matter how secretive it is, it has lost its meaning.
"So quiet—"
Peng Si stood on the top of a building, looking at the dead city shrouded in haze with a slightly tense face.
The bees in the hat seemed to sense her uneasiness, and they came out one after another and flew low around her.
Pengsi took a deep breath, extended her index finger and gently turned it twice, signaling the bees to return to the hat.
The swarm of bees flew back into the hat obediently.
At this moment, Moreau moved and quietly appeared next to Pengsi.
Almost in the next second, Kurt, who was wearing a dark purple kimono, also fell to the side lightly.
Seeing Moreau, Pengsi's originally tense mood relaxed involuntarily.
Some people can bring an indescribable sense of security just by their existence.
In Pence's view, Moreau is such an existence.
She calmed down a little, and just as she was about to speak, a cold chill passed through her back without any warning.
If Moreau's breath is as reassuring as the warm sun in winter, then the source of the chill at this moment is like the biting cold wind in the late winter night.
Pence subconsciously looked in the direction behind Moreau.
On the roof of another building more than ten meters away, Hisoka was leisurely playing with a playing card, and his slightly scrutinizing eyes were unabashedly falling on her.
Kote on the side was also keenly aware of Sisuo's malicious gaze.
Although it was not directed at him, he still glared at him coldly.
Hisoka just waved his hand casually, as if he was saying hello, as relaxed as he was.
Kettle's slender eyebrows covered by his bangs couldn't help but frown, feeling that this pervert should not be here at all.
"Don't pay attention to him."
At this time, Moreau's gentle voice drew Pengsi's attention back.
Peng Si looked away after hearing this and nodded slightly towards Moreau.
Morrow immediately asked: "The possibility that I mentioned before about whether the vision ability of the "Infinite Bee Window" can be shared with others, can it be done now?" Si's eyes became serious and she replied softly: "But at the moment, it can only be shared with one person at most."
Halfway through his words, Moreau suddenly felt something, and his eyes looked toward the palace like lightning.
I saw groups of flame-like thoughts pouring into the city one after another. At a glance, there were no less than a hundred people in number.
The other team members scattered nearby were also aware of this group of uninvited guests.
Different from the gun-wielding soldiers who patrolled the city mechanically, this group of soldiers with abilities who suddenly appeared had a stronger sense of presence.
"Soldier ants?!"
"Why are there so many, could it be that—"
Looking at this army of ability users who suddenly appeared, Mo Laowu and others' hearts sank.
The worst happened.
The efficiency of the direct bodyguards in creating the "ability user army" was much faster than they imagined.
Subsequently, Norbu led everyone back to the fourth-dimensional apartment.
At this moment, there was only half a day left before the operation started, and the appearance of the legion of ability users was like a haze in the sky, directly weighing on everyone's hearts.
"It's just a preliminary thought, but the intensity of Qi has reached this level!"
Nakulu punched the ground with his fist, his face was extremely solemn.
Although they have imagined this situation, according to common sense, the human puppets who have just been forcibly enlightened are at most the entry level.
But the group of soldiers with abilities that I saw just now showed the strength of their aura, and they were obviously very close to the level of army commanders.
This situation is completely different from what we imagined in advance.
"Although it is unclear what methods the direct guards used, the ability to reach this level must be related to the ability of telekinesis."
Mo Laowu was very calm. He habitually carried the huge pipe on his shoulders and said: "Now that this information has been confirmed, we can no longer stand still. We must seize the time to reduce the number of these puppet soldiers."
No one had any objection to Mo Laowu's proposal.
If President Netero's action plan is to be implemented on time at zero o'clock,
The period before zero o'clock arrives is the key time to weaken the chimera ants' combat power.
From this point of view, the sudden sending of this army of ability users by the other side actually provided them with an opportunity.
At the same time, you can also make psychological preparations in advance.
"In other words - we may have to fight until the moment the action begins."
Xiu Tuo spoke cautiously.
If you want to reduce the enemy's strength, you must continue fighting from now on.
This means that they will lose valuable rest time and must continue the battle until Operation Zero Point officially begins.
At that time, they will have to face monster-like direct guards and an unknown number of other ability user soldiers in a state of exhaustion.
Just imagining this kind of thing is a disaster-level difficulty.
Everyone is obviously aware of the importance of "rest and maintaining energy".
At this moment, Menqi spoke first: "I will prepare a special diet for everyone in advance. Although the effect is not as good as the long-term recovery, it should be able to help in this situation."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gai Lu, who was leaning on the wall of the dimension room, also raised his eyes and answered in a cold tone:
"One of my professions is a pharmacist, and I also make some "stimulants" that are listed as contraband in many countries. If you don’t mind the side effects such as general weakness and so on, I can provide medicine, which will at least allow you to fight without having to worry about exhaustion of energy.”
Medicinal food and stimulants.
The two together are enough to solve the physical and mental problems caused by continuous fighting.
Without this concern, the members of the expedition team quickly left the fourth-dimensional apartment and returned to Peijing City after confirming the contents of the Zero Point Operation Plan.
Pence and Pom did not directly participate in the battle, but stayed in the dimensional room.
Pence's "Infinite Bee Window" ability has been proven to be able to remotely control bee swarms in dimensional space.
And her newly developed vision-sharing branch ability "Classmate" can be applied to Pom.
Once Pom uses the swarm vision to observe the direct guards or even the ant king with his own eyes, he can immediately meet the activation conditions of "Lonely Deep Sea Fish".
At that time, she will be able to monitor every move of her direct guards and the Ant King in real time through the crystal ball of the mermaid skull.
Hence, another mission of Peng Si and Pom is to use this ability combination to conduct reconnaissance missions to the palace while other teammates begin to attack those ability user puppets.
Although there is no guarantee that Owlapuf or the Ant King will be recorded, Neferbit, who is always on guard duty outside, will definitely be exposed to their surveillance.
Hand, you can also try to use a few bumblebees to detect the number of esper soldiers and other situations.
In this extermination operation against chimera ants, the abilities of every member of the expedition team are striving to bring out their value.
In Peijing City.
Morrow stood on the top of the tallest building in the city and had a panoramic view of the puppets of ability users scattered in the city.
"It seems that Nephibit used her "surgical ability" to transform these transformed puppets. She was able to increase the energy volume to such an extent in a short period of time, and she also roughly combined the genes of other species. I am afraid this was achieved at the expense of squeezing out the vitality."
Morrow thought silently.
To chimera ants, humans are just a resource that can be taken and discarded at will.
It is not surprising that humans would be transformed in this way.
Morrow's eyes gradually became sharper, and a surging aura suddenly erupted from his body.
"Huh?!"
Hisoka and other members of the expedition team not far away could not help but look at Morrow standing on the top of the building with astonishment.
The intensity of this aura—
Far more powerful than before.
especially Hisoka, who had not seen Moreau for a long time, no longer had the leisurely look on his face.
"In such a short period of time, it has become even more eye-catching—"
The shock in Hisoka's eyes faded away, replaced by a rare and slightly complicated look.
Just as everyone's eyes were unconsciously attracted by Moro's powerful aura, they saw Moro leaping up and kicking his feet into the air.
Just hearing the sound of air explosions,
Morrow's figure suddenly twisted at high altitude, turning into a piercing afterimage, shooting straight towards the city below.
When everyone took a closer look, two puppets with abilities suddenly disappeared.
And Moro kept moving, attacking the next ability user puppet at an extremely fast speed.
The speed is so fast—"
Everyone was shocked, feeling that the strength Moro showed at this moment was indeed different from their previous understanding.
He has become noticeably stronger.
It seems that in the battle with Nitro, he has sharpened his sharp edge.
The palace.
On the dome of the building, Nephibit's eyes suddenly changed.
The number of puppets is disappearing rapidly.
"Meow, someone is attacking the puppet, and the speed is very fast, and the attack method is also very fierce."
"Is it the group of humans who have started to take action?"
"Is it the old man, or -"
Nephibit looked in the direction of Peijing City.
